A guy in our club learned to hover and t-roll last year. It was so cool and scary (like diving into a trailer to avoid being hit) watching him practise on the H-9 Utlra Stick(1.20) and then the H-9 33% cap. He was the only one in the club that could do it and we all wanted to be able to. So I grabbed up a Magic and a Giantscaleplanes.com 1.20 size Katana. The first flight on the magic was awesome it was the first time I truly had unlimited vertical with an OS .46 and macs pipe. After working and working I could hover high Ok. I did a lot of reading here, and moved the CG back a lot. All of a sudden it seemed to just click. I could get it lower and lower, it was real twitchy at first,but it's getting better. When I started trying to tail-touch there would be times where I would get messed up on the throttle or just got scared and dumped it from a foot or two and had to replaced the landing gear wood a few times. Both of the wing tip bottoms broke off from unsuccessful recoverys. But now I can do it all over the runway. The Katana was the first plane I had that was over a .40 size. I don't like the way it flys. I want to get the new ARF from AW of the 80" profile extra funfly. I believe it will be even easier to hover and t-roll with. Well that's how it got started and I don't plan on going back.
